A Look Back

I struggled to think what I should write about today. My time here is almost over – I have only 3 days left – and I couldn’t think what could be left for me to share with you. Then it came to me. Someone here said to me last night, “Kristine, you are rich…in memories.” He was right. This has been such an eventful year and I’ve made so many beautiful memories. So for today, I meander through my favourite memories of this year through the pictures that document my journey. Come, walk with me.

I started my year on the rooftop of Africa, and gained a new friend too

Mt. Rinjani in Lombok….blech

Phnom Penh broke my heart…

…and Siem Reap put it back together again

There you have it, a brief look back at my year. There’s so much more that isn’t covered here: more volcanoes, people, food. But these pictures represent some of the most important and happiest moments.

Although at times this year has been rough, looking back it’s easy to see that it’s actually been pretty awesome in more ways than I can count. And I am ever so grateful for every experience that I have had. I hope you’ve enjoyed journeying through it with me.
